It always happens.

goldengolden Posts: 10,487 ✭✭✭✭✭
I looked for several years before I found a nice Barber Half in PCGS AU 58. There was one dealer that I kept seeing at shows that only had PCGS Barber coins. He had stacks and stacks of circ. PCGS Halves. He never had even one 58 when I saw him. I saw him last week at a show. He must have just bought a collection because this time he had what looked like almost each date and mint in PCGS AU 58. They looked nice and several looked very nice. Doesn't it always happen like that?

    It usually happens when you stop looking or don't have the means to acquire one.

    Do you know why you always find something in the last place that your look?

    Because once you find it, you are done looking!

    Or the even more distressing comment from a dealer (when you tell him what you are looking for).."I just sold one... a real beauty too." AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!! Cheers, RickO
